Necole Johnson, 30, was charged along with several others in a scheme to defraud Branch Banking and Trust, Wachovia, Bank of America and Suntrust. The U.S. Attorney's office says that the scheme was built on depositing fraudulent checks into various bank accounts and then withdrawing the money from ATMs before banks realized that the checks were fraudulent.
The scheme went on from April 2005 to July 2007 and more than $1.2 million in fraudulent checks were deposited into the various accounts, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.
